SAMPLE-CARD. 2

Application filed April 21, 1920. Serial at. 375,609. 7

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM WVnINBAoH, a citizen of the United States, and a resi dent of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county 'of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Im proved Sample-Card, of which the follow ing is a description.

invention relates to sample cards for displaying samples of woven fabric and more particularly relates to a card of the indicated type in which the samples are carried by tabs detachably secured to the card.

The eneral object of my invention is to provide a sample card variously improved as hereinafter particularly described, whereby a card formed of a single sheet of material is adapted to receive samples on both sides in a manner that the securing tonguesv of both series of tabs are protected and concealed and at the same time the sheet is strengthened and convenience promoted in the placing and removal of the tabs.

The above and other objects as well as the advantages of my invention will more clearly appear as the description proceeds.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, it being understood that the drawings are merely illustrative of one example of the invention.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved sample card with the sample tabs placed thereon; 1

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the opposite side of the card;

Fig. 3 is'a longitudinal section on the line 33, Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4, Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a series of several of the cards secured together.

In carrying out my invention in accordance with the illustrated example, a card 10 of sheet material is provided and a series of detachable tabs 11 to which the samples indicated at A are applied.

Longitudinally of the card I provide securing strips 12 for the tabs 11, each strip being laced through the material-of the card to present equal or approximately equal areas or stretches at opp site sides of the I I ll card, the lacing being provided for by reason of pairs of parallel transverse slits 13 produced in the card through which the strip 12 is passed back and forth alternately from one face of the card to the opposite Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 31, 1920.

face. At the ends 12* each strip 12 is pasted onto the sheet. Each tab 11 is formed at its opposite ends with tongues 14 and these tongues are adapted to be received beneath the stretches of the strip 12.

It will thus be seen that the tongues 14 will lie between a surface of the card 10 and the stretches of the strips 12, so that their ends are concealed and protected from catching on any object. Moreover, itiwill be observed that two series of the tabs 11 can be applied to the sheet, one series on each side. It will be evident also that the strips 12 strengthen the sheet. Furthermore, the freedom of a strip 12 at its'various stretches on a face of'the card permits the ready insertion of a tongue 14 therebeneath so that the attachment and detachment of the tabs are facilitated.

Along one edge of the sheet 10 the same is formed with a turned-over flap 15 extending along said edge providinga double thickness of the material at that edge of.

the sheet and holes 16 are punchedthrough both thicknesses to receive cords of an ordinary binder to bind a number of sheets together. Moreover, the flaps may be employed by pasting one sheet to another as illustrated in Fig. 5 for producing a foldable series of connected cards.

In practice, the tabs 11 bear the identifying numerals of the fabri'cs,-two identifying numerals (20, 25) being indicated on the two outside tabs that I have shown on one of the sheets 10 of Fig. 5.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit can be considerably varied Without departure from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, I 5 claim: 7

A sample card including a sheet having pairs of slits in tWo approximately parallel series, separate strips laced through said slits alternately to the opposite sides of the sheet the ends of. said strips being pasted to the sheet While the intermediate areas at theopposite sides of the sheet are free from the latter, and sample-carrying tabs having tongues at-the opposite ends thereof receivable beneath said strips.
